10x Summon

To be honest.

Chen Yusheng looked absolutely adorable when she gave in and dozed off.

This instantly stirred some mischievous thoughts in Su Bai, who had just had his energy fully restored by "System Bro," making him want to tease her a little more.

Ah, never mind.

Better let the poor girl rest.

After a brief consideration, Su Bai took it upon himself to help Chen Yusheng out of her tights—sleeping would be much more comfortable that way.

She probably needed a good, long sleep after everything.

After the night’s events, the black stockings on Chen Yusheng’s legs were now torn and grimy.

After tidying up the aftermath, Su Bai drove away from the Marriott Hotel, merging into the morning rush hour on the expressway.

Thanks to System Bro’s boost, Su Bai was still bursting with energy, so he decided to go out and wander around.

The time was just past nine.

Still a bit early for lunch, but Su Bai’s stomach was already growling like thunder.

The reason was simple: while the system reset his energy and stamina, it wasn’t completely without cost—it drained the energy reserves stored in his body.

Even System Bro had to abide by the law of energy conservation.

So despite having eaten dinner last night and even ordering a late-night room service snack during the anime-watching break with Chen Yusheng…

Su Bai was still starving.

"Past nine is perfect for Cantonese dim sum."

He searched on his phone map and found a high-end dim sum place with an average price of over 500 per person.

Basically the most expensive Cantonese-style brunch spot in Jiangcheng.

Compared to the upscale dining Su Bai had been indulging in lately, this price was actually quite modest.

After all, dim sum was originally a casual, everyday kind of meal.

No matter how fancy it got, it was still just that.

Still, Su Bai was intrigued by the leisurely lifestyle it represented.

Years of relentless studying had left him no time to enjoy life during the morning—his sharpest hours were always reserved for hitting the books.

But now, with his life powered by cheats, he didn’t have to grind so hard anymore.

Before heading to the teahouse, Su Bai sent Zhou Jialu a private message on WeChat, asking if she wanted to join him.

The answer? No!

His senior was still recovering and wasn’t in any shape to go out walking.

The pain and bleeding from her first time with Su Bai two days ago hadn’t fully healed yet.

[Su Bai: weakling sticker]

[Zhou Jialu: It’s your fault for being so… so intense! It was my first time, after all…]

[Zhou Jialu: I’m not avoiding you on purpose, okay? I just want to rest at home, recover properly, and get back to a state where I can be close with my junior again… hehe~]

She ended the chat with a kissy voice message.

Su Bai was satisfied.

He noticed that Zhou Jialu referred to the luxury duplex at Yashige as "home."

Nice—she was adapting quickly!

That said, Su Bai had already picked up on something.

Zhou Jialu was the homebody type, content to just lounge around.

Not the kind of girl who needed constant entertainment or elaborate efforts to keep her happy.

The type who could be perfectly content just vibing in a big house.

Extremely low-maintenance.

Having a sweet, dependable woman like that keeping the home warm was definitely a good thing.

Zhou Jialu mentioned she was going back to her beauty sleep, so Su Bai left her to it.

Time for solo dim sum.

……

The teahouse had a retro aesthetic, decked out with high-end rosewood furniture—apparently a nod to traditional Cantonese decor.

Su Bai picked a seat by the window and ordered a massive spread.

For tea, he went straight for the most expensive option on the menu, determined to push today’s spending as high as possible.

Sipping his tea, Su Bai pulled up the system interface in his mind.

Time to review last night’s gains.

Honestly, he’d already heard System Bro’s ding ding ding notifications when he and Chen Yusheng crossed that line.

But at the time, he was too busy being wrapped up in the adorable bookworm to pay attention.

[Congratulations, Host! You’ve obtained another S-tier goddess’s most precious gift. Special reward unlocked: Master-Level Military Combat Skills.]

[Master-Level Military Combat Skills: As the name suggests, grants the Host comprehensive close-quarters combat techniques fit for the battlefield. The effectiveness of this skill scales with the Host’s physical attributes—future improvements to the Host’s body will further enhance its power!]

Not bad!

Su Bai nodded slightly. What guy hadn’t fantasized about being a martial arts master who could take on a hundred enemies alone?

Forget the over-the-top stuff—even in everyday emergencies, knowing some combat skills could be a lifesaver, protecting both himself and those around him.

Sometimes, when words failed, fists did the talking.

Su Bai closed his eyes, rolling his shoulders and flexing his arms.

His mind synced with his motor nerves, flooding him with memories of countless techniques.

These moves felt battle-tested, forged in blood and fire, now etched into his very bones.

By his estimation, this combat skill would make him practically untouchable in ordinary situations.

[Detected increase in S-tier goddess Chen Yusheng’s affection. Current affection level: 95. Reward: 6 lottery draws.]

[Current lottery draws in stock: 12!]

Su Bai was starting to see the pattern.

This System Bro was brutally simple in its mechanics.

Basic cash flow came mainly from the "Indulgence Cashback" feature.

For the really good stuff, you either had to advance your relationship with an S-tier goddess (which directly rewarded overpowered skills like Hands of a God and Military Combat), or raise their affection past 90—each point beyond that granted a lottery draw.

With over 10 draws saved up, Su Bai went straight for a 10-pull.

[You’ve spent 10 lottery draws. Initiating 10-pull!]

[Dun-dun~ dun-dun-dun-dun~]

A cheerful jingle played as a blinding white light flashed across Su Bai’s system interface.

Then, two bold characters appeared before his eyes—

"Genshin."

Just kidding. It said "Good Luck."

After a flurry of flashy but meaningless effects, the lottery results were laid out plainly.

"...So this gacha’s just like mobile games—mostly junk pulls, huh?"

Out of the 10 draws, seven were cash rewards, totaling over 10 million.

Not what Su Bai wanted. With the Indulgence Cashback system, money was the last thing he needed!

What he craved were cool rewards like Military Combat Skills!

Luckily, the remaining three pulls were solid.

[Master-Level Swimming: Grants the Host advanced swimming techniques, along with enhanced lung capacity and muscle endurance. Includes both competitive and survival-oriented skills.]

[Porsche Panamera GTS 4.0T: Customizable in-system. Click for details >>]

[Universal Membership Card: Grants access to any members-only venue. Out in the world, identity is what you make it!]

Swimming aside.

And ignoring the Porsche customization for now.

Su Bai’s attention was instantly seized by the Universal Membership Card.

This whole thing sounds like a setup straight out of a comedy manga.

But as everyone knows, the most overpowered abilities always come from gag works!

When it comes to places requiring membership cards, the level of exclusivity varies wildly.

On the more mundane side, there are everyday spots like libraries, Sam's Club, or amusement parks (annual passes).

Then there are the high-end ones—exclusive nightclubs for the elite, art salons for wealthy socialites…

Of course, Su Bai has no interest in art.

Rich ladies, though? Now that’s slightly more intriguing.

Regardless, this thing guarantees Su Bai smooth access wherever he goes in the world.

Any place with a membership system? Covered.

That’s a game-changer. Some premium memberships aren’t something you can just buy on the spot—they require connections.

But with the "Universal Membership Card," gaining entry could actually help Su Bai build those very connections.

After admiring the card’s design in the system interface for a good while, Su Bai finally turned his attention to his latest draw—the car.

Ah, a Panamera. A famously luxurious sedan.

Seems like a favorite among influencers and young heirs these days.

Despite being a high-end vehicle, it somehow feels… overexposed.

Well, at least online.

In reality, in a modest second-tier city like Jiangcheng, even a mid-range luxury car in the 500,000 RMB range would turn heads—let alone a Panamera.

It wasn’t until Su Bai opened the system’s vehicle customization menu that he realized just how extraordinary this reward truly was…
